Erling Haaland

Wasn't it Ballus who announced that Bernardo had signed an extension a few weeks ago?

“in talks”

The news has landed on the CAF.

Towards the end of the page.

Does he even suit City, I mean he’s a fantastic striker but City usually dominate possession and could be doing with a natural fox in the box, instead of Haaland who enjoys a bit of space up front. I’m sure he’ll still score goals but could be square pegs round holes kinda thing.

Ronaldo plus Cavani leaving should open up enough wage capacity to sign this guy. Then just need a couple of CMs and a CB, and we should be in decent shape to challenge for top 4 next season.

Some proper nuggets here

MASSIVE NEWS !!!

Gives the whole club a boost going in to the run in.

Meh, more excited about Alvarez arriving, if haaland comes great but if not not bothered either

But the 2 don’t relate to each other? Bernardo will stay because he’s happy to. Haaland signing has nothing to do with Bernardo.

More likely to be the end of Jesus, with Alvarez coming in as well.
If we can basically fund the Haaland and Alvarez deals by offloading Torres and Jesus then that is potentially magnificent business

As much as these stories look promising, I still think convincing Bernardo to re-sign is the bigger priority.

If signing Haaland meant Silva left, then I'd prefer we kept Silva.

You don’t think the leak came from us? It seems extremely calculated, even the timing.

I know City haven't steered it. Interestingly, Craig Hope is the first name on the Jack Gaughan article.

Craig is VERY connected up in the North East and with Newcastle.

Amanda Staveley and her husband recently visited City on a fact-finding tour of the training ground.

I can well believe Craig has been steered a piece of info and Jack basically got looped in by the desk as the City patch reporter and has assisted.

Pol Ballus getting involved tells me a check call could have been made with Pep.

Anyone got a picture of what the squad will look like with Alvarez and Haaland coming in? Someone did on a recent post but I cannot find it anywhere.

If Pol Ballús says its on then that's come from one of the people closest to Pep, even if the deal is join us for 5 years then we'll let you join Madrid, by then we could've won everything twice over

Makes me laugh this, whenever you sign any player you give them a contract of a chosen length and the risk is that they may see the contract out and walk away. Of course we wouldn't stand in his way if he wanted to go to Spain in 5 or 6 years, we have heard Pep say time after time that if a player wants to leave they just need to knock on his door with an acceptable offer.

On the other hand what if he hits the ground running and Pep extends, if we won 4 titles and were getting to Champions league (hopefully winning them). Then would he really walk away for it?

Ain't no doubt it's plain to see, Erling Haaland's signing for City.

“Erling Haaland loves City”… scans perfectly
